Background: While carcinoma-associated growth. In cancers, this microenvironment, or tumor stroma, fibroblasts (CAFs) support tumorigenesis, normal tissue constitutes the backbone of the tumor and is essential for the fibroblasts suppress tumor progression. Mechanisms behind cohesiveness of the tumor tissue the tumor’s ability to thrive conversion of fibroblasts into a CAF phenotype are largely (1). This stroma has considerable similarities with that of unrevealed. Materials and Methods: Transwell co-cultures non-malignant repair processes that are characterized by with fibroblasts in collagen gels and squamous-cell activation of fibroblasts and neoformation of stromal tissue, carcinoma (SCC) cells or normal oral keratinocytes (NOKs) which has led to the concept of a tumor as a "wound that in inserts. Differences in fibroblast global gene expression never heals" (2). were analyzed using Affymetrix arrays and subsequent A fibroblast phenotype characterized by expression of functional annotation and cluster analysis, as well as gene alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA), platelet-derived growth set enrichment analysis were performed.

Accordingly, this phenotype has been compared to NOKs. Functional analysis demonstrated an denoted “cancer-associated fibroblast”, CAF. It has been enrichment of collagen-related genes. There were similarities proposed that the CAF phenotype is the result of a reciprocal with gene sets reflecting a non-specific, innate–type response signaling between tumor cells and stromal fibroblasts (3). with activation of both interferon pathways and connective However, the nature of such signaling is only partially tissue turnover. Conclusion: There were distinct differences studied as there exist differences in signaling between benign in fibroblast gene expression between the co-culture types. proliferating keratinocytes and stromal cells in a healing Many were in genes related to an innate-type of response wound and the corresponding process in malignant tissue. and to connective tissue turnover. Two phenomena are worth mentioning. First, keratinocytes from the wound edge transiently exhibit many similarities to Tumors arise as consequences of genetic alterations in their transformed counterparts in squamous-cell carcinomas normal cells, which -in turn- result in a loss of cellular (SCCs) (4). Second, the stroma of a healing wound also growth control. In addition, tumor progression requires an contains cells with characteristics similar to those of the aberrant microenvironment that supports further tumor CAFs. Thus, similarities, as well as differences, in the interaction between the malignant keratinocyte phenotype and stromal cells, compared to the interaction between Abbreviations: CAF: Carcinoma associated fibroblasts; NOKs: benign keratinocytes and stromal cells, may be expected. normal oral keratinocytes; SCC: squamous cell carcinoma.

Soremekun, Kehinde F. Omolabi, Mahmoud E.S. Soliman * Molecular Bio-computation and Drug Design Laboratory, School of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, Durban, 4001, South Africa ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Genomic techniques such as next-generation sequencing and microarrays have facilitated the identification and Differentially expressed genes classification of molecular signatures inherent in cells upon viral infection, for possible therapeutic targets. SARS-CoV-2 Therefore, in this study, we performed a differential gene expression analysis, pathway enrichment analysis, and COVID-19 gene ontology on RNAseq data obtained from SARS-CoV-2 infected A549 cells. Differential expression analysis Enrichment analysis revealed that 753 genes were up-regulated while 746 down-regulated. SNORA81, OAS2, SYCP2, LOC100506985, RNAseq and SNORD35B are the top 5 upregulated genes upon SARS-Cov-2 infection. Expectedly, these genes have been implicated in the immune response to viral assaults. In the Ontology of protein classification, a high percentage of the genes are classified as Gene-specific transcriptional regulator, metabolite interconversion enzyme, and Protein modifying enzymes. Twenty pathways with P-value lower than 0.05 were enriched in the up-regulated genes while 18 pathways are enriched in the down-regulated DEGs. The toll-like receptor signalling pathway is one of the major pathways enriched. This pathway plays an important role in the innate immune system by identifying the pathogen-associated molecular signature emanating from various microorganisms.

Thanks to new genetic association studies additional risk factors are now being discovered. Using data from a recent genome- wide associations from the Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care (GenOMICC) consortium, we show that a haplotype at a region associated with requiring intensive care is inherited from Neandertals. It encodes proteins that activate enzymes that are important during infections with RNA viruses. As compared to the previously described Neandertal risk haplotype, this Neandertal haplotype is protective against severe COVID-19, is of more moderate effect, and is found at substantial frequencies in all regions of the world outside Africa. 1 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.10.05.327197; this version posted October 9, 2020.

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS3BP has been found elevated in the serum of patients with cancer and in those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It appears to be implicated in immune response associated with natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization the full length 90K cDNA has been localized to chromosome 17q25.

BMC Medical Genomics (2019) 12:200 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-019-0647-8 SOFTWARE Open Access Genome analysis and knowledge-driven variant interpretation with TGex Dvir Dahary1*, Yaron Golan1, Yaron Mazor1, Ofer Zelig1, Ruth Barshir2, Michal Twik2, Tsippi Iny Stein2, Guy Rosner3,4, Revital Kariv3,4, Fei Chen5, Qiang Zhang5, Yiping Shen5,6,7, Marilyn Safran2, Doron Lancet2* and Simon Fishilevich2* Abstract Background: The clinical genetics revolution ushers in great opportunities, accompanied by significant challenges. The fundamental mission in clinical genetics is to analyze genomes, and to identify the most relevant genetic variations underlying a patient’s phenotypes and symptoms. The adoption of Whole Genome Sequencing requires novel capacities for interpretation of non-coding variants. Results: We present TGex, the Translational Genomics expert, a novel genome variation analysis and interpretation platform, with remarkable exome analysis capacities and a pioneering approach of non-coding variants interpretation. TGex’s main strength is combining state-of-the-art variant filtering with knowledge-driven analysis made possible by VarElect, our highly effective gene-phenotype interpretation tool. VarElect leverages the widely used GeneCards knowledgebase, which integrates information from > 150 automatically-mined data sources. Access to such a comprehensive data compendium also facilitates TGex’s broad variant annotation, supporting evidence exploration, and decision making. TGex has an interactive, user-friendly, and easy adaptive interface, ACMG compliance, and an automated reporting system. Beyond comprehensive whole exome sequence capabilities, TGex encompasses innovative non-coding variants interpretation, towards the goal of maximal exploitation of whole genome sequence analyses in the clinical genetics practice. This is enabled by GeneCards’ recently developed GeneHancer, a novel integrative and fully annotated database of human enhancers and promoters.

Multiple and not fully clarified mechanisms, however, determine resistance to Dox. With the aim of identifying new markers associated with Dox-resistance, we found a global up-regulation of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in human Dox-resistant osteosarcoma cells.
